noticed that Michael started reformatting java.text, and fixing some
problems on his own. Which is a great thing, but leaves me with a small
problem:

patches submitted by Guilhem to the Classpath bug tracker. See
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?group=classpath for an overview. I'd like
to suggest reviewing those patches, and then deciding on merging them in
or whether another implementation of those aspects of java.text is
necessary.

Yes, it's a problem I fear for some time now. I also noticed that some
changes have been made to InetAddress and that I need to port these
changes without compromising the already fixed bugs in kaffe (IPV6
compatibility). Hopefully, I will have some time to work on
kaffe/Classpath in two weeks.

contributions from kaffe developers make their way back into Classpath,
I'd appreciate hearing about it. I guess we should just talk to each
other more often ;)
